Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
A new report from the Pew Research Center shows that the mobile Web is increasingly becoming mainstream. The survey found that 59% of Americans accessed the Internet through a wireless connection. This also includes laptops over WiFi but the most interesting figure I found out of here is that about 40% of adults use the…
Nokia may have recently scored some serious attention-grabbing product placement for its Nokia E71 at the World Cup this year. Phone fans will probably notice the little bit of technology smooshed up between those mammaries. According to a Paraguayan publication, the Finnish mobile phone maker tapped Larissa Riquelme, a model and actress who has probably…
If you were wondering when you’d be able to get in on the Samsung Galaxy S action with the Captivate for AT&T, wonder no longer. The Super AMOLED clad handset will be availble from AT&T starting July 18 and will set you back $199, but the good news is that it does not require a…

To the best of my knowledge, the HTC Desire is not available in Canada as of yet. The best us Canucks are going to do is the HTC Legend (the second-coming of the HTC Hero) now available on Bell. The Bell HTC Legend is going for $79.95 on a 3-year term or $399.95 off contract.…
